Week 2: Day 3 - 09 January 2019

• morning run = 5.5 miles; time = 1:10:03; average pace @ 12:44
• walked dogs = 2.6 miles total

I wore gloves during my run this morning. I took them off halfway through because my hands got hot and sweaty. Somehow, I lost one of my gloves on the way back home during the run. I didn't go back to look for it, but I have an idea where it is. I hope that it is still there and no one picked it up. I can't imagine why anyone would want half of a pair of gloves. If I can't find it, then I'll have to go back to REI for another pair.

Week 2: Day 2 - 08 January 2019

• morning run = 5.7 miles; time = 1:19:36; average pace @ 13:58
• walked dogs = 2.6 miles total

I don't have anything to say, but here is an update for today's work out.

Week 2: Day 1 - 07 January 2019

• morning run = 4.6 miles; time = 1:08:12; average pace @ 14:49
• walked dogs = 2.6 miles total

It rained a bit last night and I was a little worried that it would still be raining/drizzling during my run. Not that I've never ran in the rain before. The rain/drizzle stopped before I started my run, so I was fine.

Week 1 - 06 January 2019

Week 1 - 05 January 2019

• morning run = 5.53 miles; time = 1:18:35; average pace @ 14:12
• walked dogs = 1.9 miles total

Yay for rain. This morning wasn't as cold as it was this afternoon. That's too bad. I would have wanted it to be colder for my run.

Week 1 - 04 January 2019

• morning run = 5.39 miles; time = 1:17:08; average pace @ 14:18
• walk dogs = 2.6 miles total

I normally wait until the afternoon to update my blog, but I'm updating now (it's morning). I have to get ready for work soon. As soon as I'm done with work for the day, I have to head home, walk my dogs briefly, change clothes and then immediately jet off the West Hollywood for a night time photo walk with the Light Chasers group. I won't have time between work and heading out to West Hollywood, and I don't plan to update my blog post after I get home from the photo walk. We are most likely going to walk two to three miles during our photo walk.

Week 1: Day 2 (Day 1?) - 01 January 2019

• hilly trail run #1: 3.7 miles; time = 53:55 (minutes:seconds); pace @ 14:34 (minutes:seconds)
• hilly trail run #2: 1.1 mile; time = 18:17; pace @ 16:37
• cycling = 30.70 miles; moving time = 2:25:29 (elapsed/total time = 2:41:18); pace @ 12.6 mph
• walk dogs = 2.5 miles total

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you have started the new year strong and I hope last year (2018) wasn't too bad for you.

I have a 10K run/race coming up next month. I'm training now, however, not really for the distance. I can easily do a 10K distance tomorrow and be fine. The race is on a very hilly course, so I'm training (running) more on hills. I have to train (ride) on hills because that helps too.

I haven't decided yet, but I think I will do the Long Beach half marathon in October this year. It has been awhile since I've done that race. Also another possible race is "Finish The Ride" (35 miles) in May.
